| - Excellent. I love Titanic, and this exhibit did not disappoint.
You can not take your own pics, which stinks, but I understand why.
Seeing the items of people who didn't survive this trip is really sad, and at many points I was tearing up ( I am a mush though ). Jewelry, clothing, purses, dishes, notes, money, all kinds of stuff you can see.
A recreation of the grand staircase, made so popular from the movie, they take your pic on that. They have floor tiles and iron pieces from that stair case on display there, its VERY interesting.
At the end, is the ' big piece' A 20+ foot piece of the side of the boat, with windows / portholes intact. You are not supposed to touch, but I can not resist. Its hoisted from the ceiling. The story about that is very interesting.
Seeing the passengers list, divided by class and crew, who did not survive etc.. is sobering. I know we all know its a tragedy, but seeing all these peoples stuff, and seeing the bio's on so many passengers that didn't make it, why they were coming to America - is really heartbreaking.
Very worth the $$. Highly recommend.
